When Will Archbishop Lori Clean Out St Ignatius Church In The Mount Vernon Area?

Last evening Archbishop Lori led a New Year's Eve "interfaith prayer service" at St. Ignatius in Baltimore.  Behold this from the Archdiocese's facebook page.


Yes, it's this parish.  Whatever other "faith" might have been represented there last evening, the Roman Catholic faith got short shrift.  As we look at the parish's web site, we see that Gordon Creamer is still the honcho behind its LGBT dating service "ministry".  Please note that this page still openly boasts of its participation in Baltimore's "pride parades" during the past several years.  Now take a look at who is chair of the parish council.  Yep!  It's "gay-married" Gordon Creamer!  Bear in mind that I am linking to the parish's pages as they appeared today.  When I wrote this account of my very brief interaction with the pastor, Creamer was just a member.  So that means that during the intervening three months, Creamer was elevated to a more prominent position in the parish.

Ladies and gentlemen, particularly Catholics of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, the Archbishop knows damned well what is going on here - and at St Matthew's, for that matter.  He is doing absolutely nothing to expunge the poison that is spiritually killing the Catholics under his watch.  Faithful Catholics there, I suggest that you cease any archdiocesan contributions immediately, and if he ever appears publicly, challenge him on these matters (and have a friend record the exchange).  We simply have to hold their feet to the fire.  What I stated in this post's title would be an excellent New Year's resolution for him and his brother bishops.

Regarding Fuller's Suicide, The Clergy Knew Beforehand

Father Dupont knew of Fuller's diabolical plans at that Mass.  Dupont is not the pastor of St Therese in Seattle; rather, he is a priest who regularly assists with Masses and who frequently said Masses at which Fuller attended.  He gave Fuller a "blessing" and even embroiled First Communicant children in his stunt, giving scandal to them.  Now what was it that Jesus said about those giving scandal to little ones?  Oh, yes!

Regarding Fuller's funeral, Seattle Archbishop Sartain gave approval for a Church funeral, in direct contradiction to Canon law.  In recent years, funerals have been granted to suicides, assuming that they were not in their right minds when they committed the act.  However, Fuller's suicide was methodically planned.  He had a party to celebrate his planned sin and even compounded that sin with the celebration of his sodomite relationship by "marrying" his accomplice in sodomy just before his suicide.  I link now to a Church Militant article where two bishops are cited as stating that unrepentant homosexuals cannot be given Church funeral rites.

So here we have two clerics, one a bishop, cooperating with several mortal sins committed by Fuller this past May.  They have cheapened God's laws and the value of human life.  We pray for their own repentance.

Mount St Mary's Careens Towards Decadance

Last month we had to picket the commencement at Mount St. Mary's owing to the fawning that they heaped upon pro-abortion Mark Shriver.  They have had other problems.  Now, via their alumni magazine, they are formally cooperating with the mortal sin of sodomy as committed by two of their graduates.

Two Mount graduates, currently engaging in perversion, are about to make a mockery of the Sacrament of Matrimony.  The Mount is assisting them in announcing their "engagement" just as they would the engagement of a man and woman.

The Church recognizes nine ways in which we can cooperate in sin, and thus partake in that sin.  That cooperation can either be remote or proximate, formal or informal.  I would think that printed praise of sodomy in their official publication is both formal and proximate cooperation in mortal sin on the part of Mount officials who instigated and allowed that praise.  They most likely share in the guilt of the sins of sodomy and sacrilege committed by those two alumni.

The LifeSiteNews article has embedded therein a letter of protest from an alumna of the Mount.  She spoke out against the sin, exercising the Spiritual Work of Mercy known as "rebuking the sinner".  Now the question remains, "what will you and I do about it?" We do not have the moral option to just shrug our shoulders and ignore the matter.

The Serpents HAVE Returned To Ireland

Ireland, as a nation, has just voted to ensconce "same-sex marriage" into its constitution.  In so doing, it has sealed its fate as a nation by thumbing its nose at God, whom it once humbly acknowledged as its Lord.  Oh, the end won't come immediately as it will take some time for the traditions and social structures, once founded on Christian principles, to rot from within and crumble from without.  But unless there is speedy repentance and course correction, its ruin is inevitable.

Saints Patrick, Brigid, Columba and other noted Irish saints must be rolling in their graves.  This is a dark day for Christianity and western civilization.

Governor O'Malley Set To Advocate Gay Marriage In Maryland

Taking a cue from fellow CINO Governor Cuomo in New York, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley made plain his intentions to escalate his push for so-called gay "marriage" in Maryland.  He reportedly will have "other announcements in upcoming months".

Now I understand that Archbishop O'Brien of Baltimore has warned O'Malley that the Church will oppose his efforts.  Good for him.  The archbishop, in regard for the public sin about to be foisted upon Maryland citizenry and for O'Malley's soul (the archbishop is O'Malley's bishop), is obliged to obey Canon 915 in regard to O'Malley and not allow him to be admitted to Holy Communion until he publically repent and rescind all support of gay marriage and legalized abortion.  The same would go for any other Catholic in the Maryland legislature who would dare to support it (Mike Miller comes immediately to mind).

DREAM Act?  Forget about it, Your Excellency!  Don't try to be palsy-walsy with O'Malley on this one, as such action would only undermine your credibility in fighting "gay marriage" in Maryland.

Archbishop Nienstedt Stands For True Marriage

Archbishop John Nienstedt of the Archdiocese of Minneapolis is sending DVDs to the homes of area Catholics to urge support for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in Minnesota.  Sane and sensible Catholics applaud the Archbishop for his defense of marriage and family.

Then there are the other types of Catholics.  A bunch of them have developed a website called "returnthedvd".  Says one such person (as quoted in the Star/Tribune), "We just disagree that this is a priority. It's really not a matter we should be about as compassionate Christians. I think we should stress inclusiveness and the poor and people in need."

Flashback to yesterday's post about the "Minions Of The Nanny State".  What was one key point?  It's that these so-called "social justice" types want to cloak their deadly dissent in a veneer of "compassion", etc.  I say their dissent is deadly because, if unchecked, it will grease the slippery slopes towards eternal damnation for those foolish enough to drink their kool-aid.

One such dissident is Lucinda Naylor, who is the former artist in residence at the Basilica of St Mary in that diocese.  We read in the Minnesota Independent that she plans to create a sculpture made of the returned dvd's - to create a message of "creativity and hope"!  Doesn't that sound so lovely?

As noted, she is the former artist in residence at the Basilica.  She has been suspended from her position as a result of her public dissidence.  Kudus for Archbishop Nienstedt.  Let us thank him for his courage as we pray for Ms Naylor and her equally misguided companions, that they may repent of their sins of public disobedience to Christ and His Teachings.
